Why Choose Double Oxford Weave Hemp from Weaving Vibes
With over 36 years of weaving expertise, Weaving Vibes brings you double Oxford weave hemp fabric made to the highest standards. Our weave stands out because of its texture, durability and breathability-all thanks to our careful sourcing and expert weaving technique. By choosing Weaving Vibes' double oxford weave fabric, you’re investing in both strength and softness, ensuring durability without compromising comfort.
What is Double Oxford Weave Fabric?
Simply put, double oxford weave fabric uses two sets of warp and weft yarns interlaced in the basket weave pattern, but with a doubled thread count on every intersection. This makes the fabric thicker, heavier, and stronger than a standard oxford weave. The extra thread creates a distinct, raised texture that is bolder and more noticeable, giving the fabric a luxurious hand feel.
When hemp fibers are woven into the fabric, they combine durability with eco-friendly benefits like moisture-wicking, breathability, and antimicrobial properties. The structure makes it resistant to wrinkling and pilling, ideal for high-use textiles in home decor.

Care and Maintenance of Double Oxford Weave Hemp
To ensure your double oxford weave fabric remains strong and retains its beautiful texture, follow these simple care instructions:
Washing:
Wash with cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach to preserve the fabric’s integrity and softness.
Drying:
Air dry flat or hang to dry. Excessive heat during drying can shrink the fabric and affect the weave’s structure.
Ironing:

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Fold the fabric neatly to avoid creases and maintain its shape.
